9 AM
Ski 5:53:37 [3] 40.7 km (8:41 / km) +3166m 6:15 / km
ahr:85 max:129
Took a day off work and school in the hope that the forecast was right. The weather was perfect! Better than expected with stunning blue skies all day (except a brief bit of cloud on Mt P that we ran away from) and warmer than expected. Superb snow conditions too. Possibly best I’ve ever experienced.
Tired afterwards.

Another mistake-riddled run. Nowhere near as bad as yesterday though.
Struggling with scale today and some of the details... Mjor problem though (again) was direction. Badly twisted ankle leaving 4 (on loose rocky ground going downhill).

ahr:151 max:181 shoes: VJ Bold Ugly yellow
Worst run for quite a while. Narrabundah Hill is never my favourite map and today just forced the point.
A bit of excitement (and misery) to start (snowing!) but that did not last long.
Wayward on many legs due to poor compass, poor map reading and blackberries. Left 8 in completely wrong direction and spent 5 min on the wrong slope checking every tree for a control bemoaning the fact I hate tree controls before I realised I was the real problem.
Loitered in the vicinity of 11 for a while before Eoin kindly turned up and helped me find the control. Great day!

Event: ACT Midweek Gininderra Creek
12 PM
Orienteering 43:27 [3] 6.87 km (6:20 / km) +86m 5:57 / km
ahr:151 max:170 shoes: Kayano 25 Black
Wednesday event at Gininderra Creek. Not looking forward to this but had to return the control set so off we went...
In the end it was quite enjoyable as the rain held off (just) and was fun splashing in the puddles most of the way.
